Answer:

Cells with 46 chromosomes are called <u>diploids</u> cells because they have two sets each.

Explanation:

In the human being, somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), representing the complete chromosomal charge, so they are called diploid cells.

Ploidy is based on the total number of chromosomes contained in a cell:

  • <em>If the cell has the full charge of chromosomes —like </em><em>somatic cells</em><em>— is called diploid, and its formula is 2n. </em>
  • <em>Cells with half the chromosome charge are called haploid, their formula is n, and corresponds to</em><em> sex cells or gametes</em><em>. </em>

Two haploid cells can unite during fertilization, to give rise to a diploid cell, the gamete, which represents the basis of sexual reproduction. In humans, <u>Cells with 46 chromosomes are called </u><u>diploids</u><u> cells because they have two sets of </u><u>chromosomes</u><u> each.</u>

D. The concentration of salt becomes so high that all plant life is destroyed.

Explanation:

As time passes, the structure of an ecological community gradually changes leading to formation of new species. This is known as <u>ecological succession</u>.

The various processes above show an example of how ecological succession occurs over time. <u>However, it doesn't indicate at any point that plant life is destroyed due to high concentration of salt.</u>

The salt marsh that results actually supports plant life in the form of mangrove trees.
